The problem comes from the bearing being too small. The best option is to mod it/ have it modded to fit the larger 8x16x5 bearings. If you want to get it modded PM J-DUB. You can just use better bearings, and extend the life somewhat, but in the end they are still going to fail prematurely.:nod:

man, this sucks.. i never had this problem with any of my other kits. what are the pros doing about this issue?

Probably just replacing the bearings every run. They get bearings for free. I have tried several different types of bearings and they all wear out prematurely. My front ones have been wearing out too, not as fast/bad as the rears but still wearing out. I just sent a set of front and rear hubs/spindles to J-DUB yesterday for modding. Seems like that is the best option, plus once you get it done you won't have to worry about it again. I am having him mod the losi aluminum parts for me(spindles and hubs).:nod:

question
 
I have the 2.0 buggy and 2.0T, I'm putting the adjustable hinge pin braces on the cars, and wanted to know the correct inserts to use. Either the 0 or .5 or 1's

Looking at the set up sheet Losi mentions 20 degree caster. Does this mean I should set the front up at +2?

Thanks

0's all around in the front. 1's up on the foreward rear block, and .5's out in the back rear block. That will give you the stock setup. I run 0's in the back rear block to get 3 degrees of toe.:nod:

do you have any slack between your hubs, you should have a little if not they will wear quick. i shimmed the slack out of my lst once and rear wheel bearing fell apart after 2 heats in main. just a thought may not be it, i put a set of avids in and raced my 4th weekend and my bearings are still ok! maybe just lucky

links to the avids? and what are they?

on my mugens, very little slop. and they never went bad on me. maybe because the rear hubs are alum.

I had 1x bearing blow out and replaced it and then regreased the others last week for racing yesterday and they were fine and I had another win in the main..2x club meets in a row:nod:
only changes I made were a 3x degree rear toe plate and shock oil to losi 40 in front and 35 rear and seemed to settle the truck a little more and boy was it awesome to drive...I am in love:blush:
